Troubleshooting
- Primary Test: Attach the Rotary Motion Sensor to the Vernier data-collection interface and start the data-collection software. Start data collection, then Rotate the axle one revolution counterclockwise. The reading should advance from zero to approximately 6.28 radians.
Note: If you are using a LabPro interface, open the Rotary Motion Angular.cmbl file from the Probes and Sensors folder in Logger Pro.
